But you know what they say about opinions.

Camaro all the way for me always a chevy person never cared for the pontiac touches, and besides the Camaro is the original and then pontiac made their version, I like the heritage of Camaro.

For me it's about color. For example I love camaros in white, but don't like TAs in white. Love both cars in silver. Don't like camaros in black, but would sell my soul for a WS6 in black

Now I see 2 things when I see a stock Camaro :
1) Catfish
no grill, no more catfish...although a camaro does look like a shark too

I've had both and wish I could own them simultaneously. The T/A has always been my favorite, but the Z28/SS are just as awesome in the "Chevy" way. The one area that I feel the T/A beats the camaro is in the seats. The rest of the interiors fit their own styles, but the camaro seats just aren't as comfy. Nevertheless, they still kick ***.

edit: I'm not using the 89 in the sig as the comparison. I have owned and been around other 4th gen camaros.

I would have never chosen a TA over a Camaro. That's just me, personally. I don't regret buying a SS at all.

Faced this decision for a while before I bought my SS. There were just too many WS6 cars around and the majority of those that I saw had females driving them. Still love both tho, really cant go wrong

A Z28 was my dream from age 12, but I have to admit I like TA's better. Reason I went w/ a Z28 is I didn't want T-tops. I wish they offered the Trans Am w/ a hardtop...the Formulas just don't do it for me.

HAHAHA.. I was gonna post a reply about the 300M comment but you beat me to it. My mom owns a 99 Chrysler Concorde. Quite similar to the Camaro nose. I'm just wondering if GM stole the designer of the Concorde to do the 98 nose upgrade. They came out about the same year.

I'm neutral between the Firebird and Camaro. I only got a Z28 over a TA because the girlfriend liked the lines better. So I figured, why not? I had a TA before, and a Camaro would be a nice change!

I love both f-bods. My dream car has always been a camaro SS. I actually almost bought a WS6 but they wouldn't deal on it. I decided on a camaro just because It looks a lot cleaner, not as bulky. Definitely happy with my decision as a camaro owner.

I like the body lines on the T/As or formulas better than my Z but the flip up head lights got annoying to me when I owned the firebird. Besides the Formula/ T/A look heavier somehow, more mass?

I did start off with a 94Z but got rid of it for my T/A. Also, i've noticed from riding around in my car vs riding around in my buddy's SS, that T/A's get noticed ALOT more than Camaro's do..

I started with a 98 Camaro then came to a 99 TA. Reason? Not because of any preference, I like both the same. I just wanted a change.
